This is needed in Embedded Swift because the
witness_methodconvention requires passing the witness table to the callee.However, the witness table is not necessarily available.
A witness table is only generated if an existential value of a protocol is created.
This is a rare situation because only witness thunks have
witness_methodconvention and those thunks are created as "transparent" functions, which means they are always inlined (after de-virtualization of a witness method call).However, inlining - even of transparent functions - can fail for some reasons.
This change adds a new EmbeddedWitnessCallSpecialization pass:
If a function with
witness_methodconvention is directly called, the function is specialized by changing the convention tomethodand the call is replaced by a call to the specialized function:->
